Reaction Chain

Famous quotes containing the words reaction and/or chain:

“Christianity was only a very strong and singularly well-timed Salvation Army movement that happened to receive help from an unusual and highly dramatic incident. It was a Puritan reaction in an age when, no doubt, a Puritan reaction was much wanted; but like all sudden violent reactions, it soon wanted reacting against.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)

“Man ... cannot learn to forget, but hangs on the past: however far or fast he runs, that chain runs with him.”
